Key in Bosch WF02467GB washing machine

[phredd]

Hi folks.
My nephew hid a door key (not Yale, 5 lever type ) in the soap dispenser of my mother in laws Bosch WF02467GB washing machine, so naturally it fell into the machine. I'm told it was heard to fall to the bottom of the drum. I've taken the filter out, but cannot see or reach the key. Any advice on how to remove it would be gratefully received.
Thanks .....Phredd.

Thanks . I Tried that, couldn't see anything in there. They decided to just use it and see what happens! No disaster so far.

The key will be somewhere -you should try and find it if you can(check the pump and inlet hose/outlet houses)
I assume you have removed the soap tray and checked the inlet hose to the drum etc?

At high spin you could do some drum damage if the key is in the cavity.

If the key is near the heating element you could also get a short and start tripping the RCD.

try in the grey drum / door seal
